Travel restrictions in the UK have made faraway summer vacations tricky this year, but Kate Middleton and Prince William only saw this as a fantastic opportunity to explore a beautiful destination closer to home. The royal couple reportedly whisked George, Charlotte and Louis away for a low-key family trip to the Isles of Scilly, in Cornwall, as revealed by Hello! (opens in new tab). The trip probably acted as a consolation prize for Prince George, after England lost in the Euros final while he was in (very meme-worthy) attendance.
Hello! explained that the Cambridges are regulars on the Isles of Scilly, having visited Tresco Island back in 2020, and St Martin's island (opens in new tab) in 2016. Check them out sitting on a boat at the time:
And here they are sharing a laugh:
The Isles of Scilly (opens in new tab) feature picturesque landscapes and waters so blue you'd have a hard time believing they're just off the coast of England. They are touted as a perfect place for a family getaway (opens in new tab), and famous for their fresh seafood and local produce (opens in new tab), as well as their thriving arts scene (opens in new tab).
It's probably not surprising, then, that plenty of Britain's glitterati (opens in new tab) head to the Isles each summer—Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden in particular is a fan, as the Mirror (opens in new tab) points out. The region of Cornwall in general also attracts the rich and famous, including Prince Charles (opens in new tab) and Camilla Parker-Bowles, Kate Winslet (opens in new tab) and Teri Hatcher, as reported by CornwallLive (opens in new tab).
